The latest UK Government Emissions factors were published on 8 July 2024. Our briefing paper discusses the changes for UK grid electricity and natural gas. Despite the increase in electricity emissions factor, the grid is continuing to decarbonise and many of our projects are very much based on achieving that outcome. We can help you with all aspects of your journey to #netzero, from carbon footprinting to cradle-to-grave solutions for all renewable energy generation technologies. Please contact John Barclay or Calum Bruce if you would like more information. #grid #decarbonisation #emissionsfactors

The Scottish Renewables report published today, "National Heat Networks: A Vision for Scotland" offers key recommendations on sustainable heat networks & calls for a National Heat Networks Vision to drive heat decarbonisation across Scotland. With more than half of Scotland’s energy consumption used for heating, sustainable solutions to heat buildings are urgently needed to meet The Scottish Government’s commitment of decarbonising heat by 2045. 💻 Read the report: https://lnkd.in/er7ZDDyB #SustainableEnergy #NetZero #lowcarbonheat

National Grid announces £60 billion “Grid for Growth” plan: National Grid CEO John Pettigrew described the investment plan as "unprecedented in its scale and ambition." Approximately £30 billion will be invested in the UK, with an additional £28 billion allocated for improving grid networks in the northeastern US. #growth #investment #Battery #batteryenergystorage #renewables #RenewableEnergy #SustainableFuture #solarenergy #solarpower #renewables #renewableenergy #investment #cleanenergy #cleanelectricity #greenenergy #greenpower #innovation #greeneconomy #greenbusiness #greenfuture #decarbonisation #netzero #change #batterystorage #batterytechnology #electricity #battery #netzero

We have today launched our annual Gas Winter Outlook. Each year, this report outlines how we see the gas system’s capacity in Great Britain, as well as pressure points and overall resilience for the upcoming winter. We expect gas demand will remain similar to last year. Great Britain's diverse and flexible gas supplies position us well to manage the colder weather ahead. What remains paramount is the role gas plays in our energy system. Our report found that last year, gas accounted for over 50% of Great Britain’s electricity generation between high-demand periods like late November to early December. As we work towards incorporating renewables and other sources of green energy into our wider energy system, gas’ vital role in the energy system cannot be understated, as it continues to prove essential in providing businesses and industries with the energy they need. Working closely with our cross-industry partners, I am confident in our abilities at National Gas to deliver the energy Great Britain needs this winter – keeping the lights on, industries fuelled and homes warm. Gas remains critical in this effort as we transition towards cleaner alternatives. #SecuringBritainsEnergy Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eC6WFgXf

Partner's News The Energy Hubs – Fill the Backbone report by Hydrogen Scotland member Net Zero Technology Centre highlights the emerging opportunity to export green hydrogen from Scotland into the expanding hydrogen market in Europe. Economic modelling indicates that a 10 GW scale Energy Hub in Scotland producing green hydrogen from floating offshore wind could produce hydrogen for £3.90/kg. To capitalise on this opportunity, Scotland will need to develop strategic Energy Hubs in time to meet this growing demand. https://lnkd.in/gPJgp5SC

Top stories today 💷 Ofgem releases funds for controversial National Grid upgrade https://buff.ly/46IFURZ Ofgem has advanced 12 major connection projects under its Accelerated Strategic Transmission Investment (ASTI) framework. This includes National Grid’s controversial transmission upgrade scheme between Norwich and Tilbury, which has been strongly opposed by local politicians. Other schemes to move ahead include reinforcement projects in London and Yorkshire, as well as six onshore and two offshore projects in Scotland. 🪁 ESO: No new pylons required for floating offshore wind farm projects https://buff.ly/3AzGUeU No new pylons will be required to connect a fleet of floating offshore wind farms planned in the Celtic Sea, according to National Grid ESO. The ESO has published its blueprint, commissioned by the government, recommending how up to 4.5GW of floating offshore wind proposed off the coasts of south Wales and south west England can be connected to the onshore network. 💡 Fixed tariffs no longer offer consumers good deals https://buff.ly/3M2tE50 There has been a significant decrease in savings to be made from fixed price energy tariffs over the last few months, new research has found. Analysis by Cornwall Insight found that the average saving from the top ten cheapest fixed rate tariffs on the open market now stands at only £5 per annum, compared to being on the price cap. This, it said, represents an up to 94% decrease compared to previous savings of around £60 to £80 per year only a few months ago.

Energy Live News reports that Scottish Renewables, alongside 67 organisations representing 20,000 jobs in #renewableenergy, has issued a collective plea to the new UK Government to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy projects. This call comes ahead of Allocation Round 6 (AR6) of the Contracts for Difference (CfD) scheme amid concerns around the current budget constraints, potentially limiting the number of projects that can secure funding. Increasing the AR6 budget to support vital projects and their associated supply chains will contribute significantly towards the UK’s target of 50GW of offshore wind by 2030.   📰Read the news story here: https://lnkd.in/eUrKfY69   📢Stay switched on to the latest #CfD #AR6 updates and read our latest #blog here: https://lnkd.in/e3fy3z5y. #ContractsForDifference #IndustryNews #RenewableInvestment #AllocationRound6 #NetZero

📄 NEW REPORT - Accelerating the delivery of clean electricity: Five focus areas to deliver on the UK's Clean Energy Mission for 2030 Delivering the new government’s 2030 Mission will enable the UK to show global leadership, generate new economic opportunities across the country and reduce our reliance on imported fossils fuels. But to deliver on 2030 will require a step change in intent, policy and regulation. Launched today, this report drafted by GC and commissioned by SSE plc considers the priority actions required to achieve Labour’s ambition of power decarbonisation by 2030. It proposes five areas where intervention by the new government will be most vital to deliver on 2030: 1️⃣ Creating a central strategic delivery plan to bring together strategic energy infrastructure plans with policy and regulation to address barriers and maximise economic opportunities. 2️⃣ Accelerating planning and consenting to ensure that the identified infrastructure can be delivered on time. 3️⃣ Demonstrating big ambition on renewables to deliver sufficient investment and capacity and support the supply chain. 4️⃣ Securing dispatchable low carbon power to facilitate the transition away from unabated gas and support the urgent deployment of CCS and hydrogen infrastructure. 5️⃣ Setting out a focused market reform programme to support investment in low carbon infrastructure and deliver consumer value. Taken together, action in these areas can enable the government to make progress at pace, using the 2030 goal to deliver greater momentum in the next five years than in the previous fifteen.
